You’ve most probably already heard of mindfulness in the past. Maybe you’ve even tried to practice mindfulness or read about its role in helping to deal with stress. You’re definitely not alone; we all live in an extremely fast-paced world, and too often, we forget to check in with ourselves.
Mindfulness is a tremendous asset that can really make a difference in the way we respond to the stress in our lives and help developing more conscious habits.
This introduction session aims at giving you a chance to discover & experience mindfulness, i.e.:
Introduction of what is Mindfulness and learn about the benefits
Description of what to expect from the eight-week training
Experience guided mindfulness meditation
Testimonials
This is what some participants to the previous trainings said about the MBSR program:
I followed the course with Estelle just before going back to work from maternity leave. I wanted to help myself finding a balance as a new working mom. The course gives concrete tips to release stress and to find balance. Estelle is a very kind, opened and serious teacher which enables people to feel at ease from the start.

My goal before I enter the course was to be more connected to myself and to learn to be more mindful of everyday activities. During the course, I have learned different ways of mindful communication, which is so necessary to keep good relationships. Meditation and mindfulness are a daily routine for me now and I feel alive. Estelle has been a great support, I really appreciate her personal approach to each person in the group. Highly recommended! Life-changing!

About Me
My name is Estelle Augustyn, and I am a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction certified teacher from the Institute for Mindfulness-Based Approaches (IMA) in Germany.
I graduated with a Master’s in Management of Human Resources, and I have 15 years of experience in the HR management field.
I came to mindfulness and the MBSR technique after trying many other options to recover from a bad burnout brought by my professional life.
After seeing the positive effects on my road to recovery, I decided to become a trainer myself so I could bring the benefits of mindfulness to individuals and companies.
Although I am originally from France, I will lead this MBSR course in English.
